After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

Seeing Wang Yugui was silent, Nianshan smiled and said, "Of course, you can have lunch in the nunnery."

"It's just that the vegetarian meals in our nunnery are simple and plain, and I'm afraid that you, Painter Xiao Wang, won't be able to get used to them!"

"It's okay. I ate a lot of vegetarian food in the Dacheng Temple when I was painting." Wang Yugui smiled.

He then said, "However, Master, since I am here to have my portrait painted, I need to bring my sister with me."

"We need to be provided with two vegetarian meals for lunch!"

"Okay, no problem." Nianshan agreed straightforwardly this time.

Wang Yugui said: "Then please pay ten taels of silver as a deposit first, and the remaining ten taels of silver will be paid after all the paintings are completed."

"After receiving the silver, we can start work today. As you know, it is not easy for us to leave the city!"

"Okay, Painter Xiao Wang, wait a moment, I'll be right back!" Nun Nianshan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Having said that, he turned and left the Master's Hall.

As soon as Nianshan left, the eldest sister said to Wang Yugui, "Brother, is your painting fee too low?"

"This Shuijing Temple is outside the city. It's so hot, and it's much more troublesome to go back and forth every day than to go to Dacheng Temple."

"Besides, I had to come along and waste another worker, and I only received 20 taels of silver from them."

"It's too bad. I think they should at least pay them thirty taels of silver!"

"Hey, sister, you are right. I didn't think about this just now. As soon as the nun cried poor and bargained, I agreed without hesitation." Wang Yugui smiled

I also feel that it is a little less, but I have already agreed and it is difficult to go back on my word.

The eldest sister snorted: "Brother, I knew you were deceived by the teacher. She must know the market situation."

Then he looked around and said: "Brother, I think this Shuijing Temple is not poor at all."

"Look at how well built their nunnery is. When I came here just now, I saw that they have a big garden behind it, with flowers and grass. It looks so beautiful!"

"Yes, otherwise why is it said that Shuijing Nunnery is the largest and best nunnery in Wangtian County?" Wang Yugui nodded.

He also saw the big garden, which was probably the back garden of the nunnery. It was very well maintained.

As the brother and sister were talking, Nianshan came over with a little nun and said, "Master Wang, this is a deposit of ten taels of silver. Keep it!"

"Okay." Wang Yugui nodded, took the silver with a smile, looked at it, and put it away.

Then he said to Master Nianshan: "Master, I will temporarily occupy this Master's Hall. When I am painting, please do not let others come and disturb me!"

"Okay, Master Xiao Wang, I will give the order myself." Nun Nianshan smiled and nodded.

Then, he pointed to the little nun behind her and said, "Master Wang, she is my little apprentice, and her Buddhist name is Jingyin."

"When you come to the nunnery to paint, she will be responsible for greeting you. If you have any problems in the nunnery, just look for her!"

"Okay, thank you for your care, Master." Wang Yugui nodded and thanked him.

As he spoke, he bowed to the little nun named Jingyin and said, "Little Master Jingyin, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"Amitabha, Master Wang, thank you for your courtesy." The little nun hurriedly returned the greeting and chanted a Buddhist

This little nun named Jingyin was the same little nun who went to the store to invite Wang Yugui yesterday.

Nianshan looked at Wang Yugui and said, "Master Wang, I have something to tell you."

"As you know, the nunnery is populated by female disciples only, and male donors are not allowed to enter. So, I hope that Master Wang will not walk around the nunnery at will!"

"Okay, Master, I'm also very busy with my portrait painting, so I don't think I have time to walk around." Wang Yugui nodded in agreement

I thought, is the nun afraid that I will wander around and disturb the other nuns?

The nunnery is so troublesome. We can’t even move freely. Alas!

After Master Nianshan finished giving instructions, she went back to her daily routine.

Jingyin brought a pot of tea to Wang Yugui and his sister, and said, "I will bring vegetarian food to you at lunch time, don't worry."

Then he pointed to the room in front and said, "I live in the front. You two can find me there if you have any questions!"

After saying this, he chanted the Buddha's name and left the Master's Hall.

"Brother, this little Master Jingyin doesn't look very old, how old do you think she is?" The eldest sister asked Wang Yugui curiously.

Wang Yugui laughed: "Probably about 17 or 18 years old, not much older than you, probably about the same age as me, haha!"

"Yeah, I think so too." The eldest sister nodded and smiled, "Brother, have you noticed that Master Jingyin is quite good-looking!"

Of course Wang Yugui discovered it. He discovered it when the little nun went to the store to invite him yesterday.

Jingyin has delicate features. Although she is not a stunning beauty, she is better than ordinary women.

Moreover, she has a cool and unique temperament, and her voice is particularly pleasant. She speaks calmly, neither hurriedly nor slowly, softly and gently.

Seeing that Wang Yugui didn't say anything, the eldest sister sighed and said, "Master Jingyin, he is good-looking, but he is a little cold."

"I've never seen her smile. It seems like she can't smile. Brother, have you noticed?"

"Oh, sister, we are here to paint portraits, not to study the little nuns in the nunnery. Why do you care whether they laugh or not?" Wang Yugui smiled and shook his head.

I am a little speechless. Everyone says that the second sister loves gossip, but I didn’t expect that the eldest sister is not bad either!

Girls are just very curious!

However, Wang Yugui was actually quite curious, but he just didn't feel comfortable saying it out loud.

The eldest sister looked at Wang Yugui and said, "Hey, brother, did you really not notice?"

"I see that Master Nianshan still smiles from time to time, but Master Jingyin, she really has never smiled at all!"

"Hey, it's our first day here and she's not familiar with us. What's so funny? It will be fine once we get to know each other better," Wang Yugui laughed.

Then he said, "Okay, you, stop talking nonsense, let's take down the statue of our master and start working!"

"Okay, brother, get to work, get to work." The elder sister took a sip of tea and stood up to help.

Wang Yugui took down a portrait of his master and started to work...

Talk is one thing, laugh is another, but you still have to do your job seriously!

When Wang Yugui was painting the portrait, the eldest sister mainly watched from the side and occasionally helped him.

……

Time passed very quickly when they were busy, and soon it was noon. Jingyin came over with a food box and brought lunch to the brother and sister.

When the eldest sister saw this, she hurried over to help Jingyin take the food out of the lunch box.

A small plate of tofu, a small plate of vegetables, a small bowl of winter melon soup, a small bowl of rice, and a small steamed bun.

So, there are two servings in total, with fewer dishes, but the bowls and plates are very exquisite.

The eldest sister looked at it and frowned slightly: "Oh, Master Jingyin, the bowls and plates in your nunnery are quite exquisite!"

"Yes, these bowls and plates were donated by Mr. Zhang's family. They are all top-quality porcelain." Jingyin nodded.

The eldest sister nodded after hearing this: "Is that so? No wonder!"

"Hey, the dishes are exquisite, and the food is exquisite, but the quantity is too small."

"It's okay for me to eat these, but I'm afraid my brother won't be full!"
